Question On A 1935 One Dollar Silver Certificate

Yes, that qualifies as an experimental note..... The 1935 AB block experimentals were printed in numbers more than double that of the scarcer BB and CB block experimentals.

Your note is of the second type of experimental notes issued... the first type were of the 1928A and 1928B in the blocks of XB, YB, and ZB.

The last type were series 1935A and are much more easily recognizable due to the big red "S" or "R" on their faces.

edited to add: Yeah Nick, I just had the same thing happen with the "R"..... (must be a program effort thwart text messaging type lingo).

No, the non-stamped "R" & "S" notes are not experimental.

No, you did not misunderstand me Nick...

First experimental notes were series 1928A & 1928B printed in late 1932 and early 1933.

XB block = 10,728,000 notes (control group)
YB block = 10,248,000 notes
ZB block = 10,248,000 notes


Second experimental notes were series 1935 printed in 1937.

AB block = 6,180,000 notes (control group)
BB block = 3,300,000 notes
CB block = 3,300,000 notes

Third issue of experimental notes were series 1935A printed in 1944.

Big red "R" = 1,196,000 notes including 12,000 stars (control group)
Big red "S" = 1,196,000 notes including 12,000 stars

The purpose of all three issues was to test new formulations of material used to make paper money.

Pirates normally (not always, but 'normally') roll their "R"s to sound more like "ARRRRRRRR".

No confusion on my part Herman..... I don't think that Nickelman is confused either..... sounds to me like whatever book you are reading is what is confusing you.... there is no serial number range for the 1935 experimentals..... If it is the AB block, it is an experimental, and no series 1935 notes have a red "R" or "S".... if your book tells you otherwise, you really should throw that book in the trash.
